The Wichita and Western railroad now being
constructed between Wichita and Dodge City, is
bringing into notice the fneet portions Of Kansas.
This railroad lie now completed from Wichita
westward to Cullison IN Pratt county. As the road
is built settlers flock in and the price of prop
erty goes up. We have waited for the construc-
ton of this road, and now begin to find that We
are soon to be amply rewarded for waiting, as the
end of the track gets nearer Us land and town
property advance in price. Settlers come in and
the evidences Of prosperity are seen all around us
We have assurances from parties that the road
will be completed to Dodge at an early day. This
road will not only bring freight into the country
through which it passes, but be Of vast benefit to
Dodge City. The Santa Fe railroad now does an
immense business at Dodge and this road will
nearly double it. the one will be an arm reaching
to Chicago, the other to st. Louis. We trust that
Dodge City Is fully alive to the sitnation and will
render all possible aid and comfort to this road.
